Subject: Not the Grateful Dead
Subject: Not the Grateful Dead
This isn't a Grateful Dead recording. Rather, this is a Merry Pranksters recording of various sounds and supposedly spooky talking, all part of the acid test scene.
I honestly can't think of any reason for anybody to listen to this, even for historical purposes. There isn't anything of any historical interest captured here. It's just a bunch of random talking and random sounds, the sort of thing that was probably interesting for those attending who were trying to get high.
You can read more about this here: http://www.postertrip.com/public/5581.cfm I'm not sure if the 7" referenced on this website is the source of this recording or not.
This certainly is strongly tied with the Grateful Dead, though I can't really think of any other reason for this to be catalogued with other Grateful Dead live recordings. As another commentator said, this is the last thing I would let anybody new to the Dead listen to.

Self- indulgent, sloppy mess. Are The Dead actually on this recording?

Acid Test 10 of 19.
A fantastic interview with Ken Kesey. Ken Babbs blaring the harmonica. More defined than previous Tests. Not too over the top for the night... It's just right.

While the Dead did play the tests, it really doesn't sound like they are playing any of the background instruments here. Vocals by Kesey, Babbs & others. On the last track, a Prankster says "Lets let the Dead sing" as Garcia & Co. plug in, and Jerry comes on mic, complaining that his voice is "completely shot." Note that the Prankster refers to the band as "the Dead," this is just 7 weeks after their first public gig billed with that moniker. Apparently, the name stuck, and fast.

Worth forgetting. This would be the last album I would direct anybody to when referencing the Grateful Dead.
